Day 7 Elevation Vacation……….🦃❤️🥾🏔️
The plan today was to summit Ballard Mountain 12,818’ but storms were in the forecast. I started ~8AM and got up to 11,200’ when the clouds started to build. 3 pics up:

Then it started rumbling……….🦃🤬⛈️
About 30 minutes after I started going down, I heard my first low rumble. I had a few louder ones next but it was south of my location. Thankfully no issues. I did have a laugh to myself though. Just as I was finishing the trail, a group of know it all young adults was starting. I pointed to the dark clouds and said a storm is coming. What they said, it’s alright, they are going away from us. 20 minutes later, it is raining hard 🙂🤣🤣 3 pics: ** Edited by VTHokieTom at 6/14/2026, 10:04:59 PM
